After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the scholars stopped writing. The President Huo and Teacher Liu let them read their poems in turn.
"They would rather live without bamboo than eat without meat. No bamboo is vulgar, no meat is thin." The first contestant confidently recited his own poem.
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Hahaha??"
The President Huo and Teacher Liu shook their heads at the same time. A few customers who knew a little poetry shook their heads.
Teacher Liu gave a simple review, "This poem is easy to recite, but unfortunately, it has lost its elegance as a 'poem'."
On the other hand, Qin Mian felt that this poem was pretty good, and that it was suitable to be hung in restaurants. Thus, he gave a praising smile to the scholar and decided to talk to him after the competition ended.
The second scholar read out, "Zhaoyang Wine Tulip, Jade bowl filled with Amber Light. But to make the master drunk, I do not know where it is from."
"Alright!" Huo Siyuan nodded approvingly."The meaning of all poetry is strange as well. Reading it is like drinking wine or enjoying the spring breeze. It's really a good piece of work."
The President Huo and Teacher Liu's commentary was quick, and the poetry competition soon ended. The top two were Huo Sirui, Wang Shangwen and the other poor disciple.
Lei Xiangzhi's poem was not bad too, but it was a pity that it did not enter the top three. But his calligraphy and chess skills were second place.
"..."
The last test was the zither, Huo Sirui's song was astonishing, and easily won the championship. President Huo was gri ing from ear to ear.
After the competition ended, Qin Mian ordered some people to take out a few excellent poems and put them up as frames. He also took out a new silver ingot he had prepared beforehand, allowing President Huo and Teacher Liu to serve as guests at the awards ceremony, giving the rewards to the students who had won the competition.
The students who did not get a placing were not disappointed, they even enjoyed the free treatment of eating and drinking.
"Boss Qin, it's time to fight." Bao Xu shouted loudly, afraid that Qin Mian would forget.
Qin Mian said: "Let's go outside and compete. This way, please."
The open space in front of the building was large enough that it was more than enough for people to fight. The guests followed one after another to watch the show.
Qin Mian, Bao Xu, Li Shan and Zhou Hai were surrounded.
"Who's going first?" Qin Mian moved his wrist a few times and asked.
Bao Xu stepped out with his chest puffed out."I'll go first."
Qin Mian nodded, "Okay, after you."
Lei Xiangzhi walked over to Lei Tia's side and was a little worried, "Big brother, sister-in-law will be fine, right?" Bao Xu was tall and strong. Not to mention a head taller than Qin Mian, his body was at least two heads thicker than Qin Mian's.
Lei Tia was silent.
President Huo reminded them, "Both of you, stop right there."
Bao Xu nodded his head vigorously, "Principal, rest assured, Boss Qin and I will consider it our victory if we can throw the other party to the ground. Boss Qin, what do you think? "
Qin Mian glanced at him speechlessly. Are you the host or am I the host?
"Sure."
"Let the match begin." Teacher Liu said.
Bao Xu rushed in front of Qin Mian and formed a fist with his right hand. Qin Mian nimbly stepped to the side, dodging the attack as he attacked Bao Xu's ribs with his right palm.
Those who were experts could tell that both of them were quite skilled just from this one exchange of blows.
Surprised, Bao Xu shouted and sped up his attack. Each move was heavy and powerful. Qin Mian's advantage lay in his nimble body. While dodging, he used a clever move. In fact, Bao Xu was a true expert in martial arts. His movements were not considered slow at all. In fact, it was Qin Mian who had "cheated", the Spirit Spring Water who had improved his dynamic vision. With his sharp eyes, he was able to see the angle and direction of Bao Xu's moves, so he could be on guard in time.
The two of them fought with great difficulty, and from time to time, everyone would give a round of applause.
After more than fifty moves, Qin Mian was gradually at a disadvantage. After all, he lacked the experience to fight with others. Thus, he quickly revealed a flaw and was caught by Bao Xu in time. Bao Xu grabbed's right arm, remembered that he had said that he would only win if the other party was thrown onto the ground. He pushed Qin Mian strongly towards the ground.
Everyone cried out in alarm.
Seeing Qin Mian about to hit the ground, a black shadow flashed past. Lei Tia promptly grabbed Qin Mian's waist, picked him up and helped him stand steadily.
"Wife?" Lei Tia inspected him.
"I'm fine." Qin Mian smiled at him consolingly.
"Hey, you are too despicable! "If we have already won, why must we push our Young Master down to the ground?" Le Yue pointed at Bao Xu as she said unhappily.
Bao Xu scratched his head, not knowing what to do as he said, "I??" I didn't mean to."
"Alright, let's celebrate." Qin Mian waved his hands nonchalantly."This Young Master Bao shouldn't have done it on purpose. Young Master Bao, congratulations."
Bao Xu said happily, "Hur Hur, you did it!"
Qin Mian looked at Li Shan and Zhou Hai.
"Which one of you will go first?"
Li Shan was the first to go, and in less than twenty moves, he was defeated. Zhou Hai was slightly better, and in thirty-two moves, he was defeated by Qin Mian.
It was as if Bao Xu had gotten first place for free.
Bu Qingyun muttered: "Sigh, foolish people truly have foolish blessings."
"Haha." Qu Zongwen laughed, "Alright, let's go, let's go eat in."
Bu Qingyun immediately became spirited, "That's right, let's go!"
Everyone returned to the main hall and continued to eat and drink. Soon, the hall was bustling with noise and excitement. Bao Xu sat alone at a table and ordered six dishes in one go."Give me two more bowls of rice."
The waitress reminded him, "Dear guest, if you can't finish your meal, you will be fined a lot of money."
"I know." Bao Xu pounded his chest, "I'm not afraid that I'll have enough to eat just these." "Don't worry, if I can't finish my food, you can punish me however you wish!"
The waiter wiped his sweat and replied with a smile, "Yes."
Seeing Qin Mian walk over, Bao Xu squirmed uncomfortably on his chair a few times, "Boss Qin, you said that you can eat and drink for free."
Qin Mian laughed, "I came here to say, as long as Young Master Bao does not waste food, you can eat without worry."
"Thank you, Boss Qin!" Bao Xu's impression of him immediately increased.
"Use it slowly." Qin Mian looked around and found the scholar who wrote the poem "fleshless makes one thin".
"Young master, the poem you wrote is very appetizing. Our restaurant is very interested. I wonder if you'd like to sell us the poem? We'll hang it in the restaurant."
The student's face was filled with surprise and joy. He straightforwardly said, "Of course I'm willing. However, there was no need to sell it. If it's possible, can Boss Qin give me some cherry paste? "My brother and sister will definitely like it."
"No problem." Qin Mian smiled, "I will get someone to bring you a jar of cherry paste in a while. I wonder if you would mind adding your name to the poem? "
"I don't mind." This scholar had an open-minded personality, "Even if I'm not good at writing, I wrote it myself. Maybe I'll really become famous if I hang it in your restaurant?" "Hahaha!"
Qin Mian then came to President Huo's table.
"Are President Huo, Teacher Liu and the two of you satisfied? If there's anything you need, you can call the waiter over at any time."
President Huo put down his chopsticks, and laughed heartily, "The Shuangzhuan Restaurant's dishes are pleasing to the mouth, and have an endless amount of aftertaste. To be honest, one of my hobbies is food. I have been to all the restaurants with different Zhaoyang County and sizes, but today, I have eaten the best."
Teacher Liu also nodded. No wonder the Boss Qin dared to open a tavern in this small town."
Qin Mian was modest, "President Huo and Teacher Liu are flattering me. You two must enjoy yourselves to your heart's content."
He was already tired out for a long time, so he instructed Manager Sun to bring the fruit baskets to President Huo and Teacher Liu when they left, then he walked into the resting room on the first floor.
Lei Tia returned from his patrol and saw no one. He directly went to the resting room and saw his wife lying on the sofa. He walked over and pressed on her hands and legs for her.
Qin Mian raised his leg and placed it on's leg, and said casually: "Tia, looking at today's situation, our great rewards ceremony was a success. Although there will be some losses, once those few good works are spread out, Shuangzhuan Restaurant's reputation will become even more resounding, and we will no longer have to worry about the origins of our guests."
"Yes." Lei Tia said, "Wait until Manager Sun gets started, my wife doesn't have to work as hard as she did today."
"Not bad." Qin Mian said lazily, "Everything is difficult at the begi ing."It will be easier from now on."
Lei Tia placed his large palm on top of his eyes, "Sleep for a while."If there's anything, I'll call you."
As if returning to the VIP room, Nie Heng sat on the sofa in the living room, looking around with a complicated expression.
In the VIP room, Qin Mian designed the room like three bedrooms, two living rooms, a living room, an entertainment hall, and a bathroom. In the three rooms, there was a large soft double bed, a new and exquisite wardrobe, a comfortable and warm sofa, a smooth and flat floor, and a soft carpet on the floor. There was an exquisite painting on the wall. Even though the style was strange, it gave off a very comfortable feeling. The most worth mentioning is the tall windows, sufficient light, wide view, distant view, people relaxed and happy. The living room was also carpeted, giving one the impulse to lie down on it; a whole set of sofas was arranged in a circle, and on the coffee table in the center, in addition to a tea set, was a vase, fresh cherries, and peaches. Recreation room layout with the principle of pleasing to the eye, card nine, dice, Go, lyre and other recreational tools. The bathroom was also special. Although it wasn't advanced enough to flush automatically, after using the toilet, press the button on the side and the toilet would slowly fall. After a while, a clean toilet would rise up. In addition, he could also take a hot bath with a large tub. There were two cylindrical objects in the corner, one of them filled with cold water, the other with hot water. The hot water filled column went all the way to the first floor. On the first floor, there was a boiler room that boiled water twenty-four hours a day. If you want to take a bath, first put hot water, then add cold water. Not only that, there was also a faint fragrance wafting in the bathroom.
In addition to these "hardware", the VIP room also had service on call. On the living room wall, there were three different colored tokens: tea, pastries, fruits, and red tokens; food, blue tokens; and other services, yellow tokens. The staff on the first floor will immediately go upstairs to serve the VIP.
The knocking sound woke Nie Heng from his deep thoughts.
"Come in."
Nie Qing and Chun Sheng opened the door and looked at the smooth and clean ground. For a while, they didn't dare to take a step forward.
"Why aren't you coming in?" The gloominess in Nie Heng's heart dissipated a little because of the duo's fu y reactions.
Only then did Nie Qing and Chun Sheng enter the room, and first paid their respects to Nie Heng.
Nie Heng relaxed and leaned on the sofa, "You guys take a look around first."
Nie Qing and Chun Sheng walked around the room. As they watched, they sighed inwardly. After reading it, they returned to the living room.
"How is it?" Nie Heng asked.
Nie Qing said, "The luxurious suite on the second floor is roughly the same as the one Young Master lives in. However, the floor is made of wooden planks and there is no carpet. Furniture and furnishings were also meticulous, but they were not as luxurious and dignified as the VIP rooms. Of course, it was still much better than the best rooms in the i
. In addition, the bathroom in the luxurious suite is relatively simple. If you want to take a bath, you have to get someone to bring you water."
The Chunsheng said, "Young Master, the ordinary rooms are not bad either. They are divided into a single room and a double room. The single room is a single bed while the double room is a double bed. There's no shared bed."
Nie Heng remained silent for a long while before saying, "The Shuangzhuan Restaurant will shock the world with one brilliant move."
Nie Qing and Chun Sheng didn't dare to say anything. If the living environment of the building was not as important, then the dishes of Bin Zhi Restaurant were both novel and tasty. Those who loved to eat would definitely not want to miss out on such a good place. In contrast, the remote location was secondary.
Nie Heng stood up, "Go down and take a look."
